"Good night. Denny darling." Eva whispered as she went up the stairs It was windy April, with the long yellow sprays of forsythla. the reddening maple buds, the old fasci nation of outdoors that Eve had for gotten In her years of city work Denny's absence stretched to a month The dally letters kept Eve happy. Once he telephoned, on top of the world He was doing wonders. An other time. Denny fashion, he was "lower than a snake" in a bad terri tory.

"But, Denny, why not If Mltzl can?" Hii voice had the patience of the male confronted with the unwise fe male: "Listen to this, sweet MitxJ la splendid business-woman and an old friend of the whole family. She's got It In hand. If you or even 1 put In an oar It will ruin things. She says so and she's right She made me promise to leave It all to her. It's going grand ly. So you promise to leave It alone, If you want to help your husband. Be sweet to old Cleveland and keep your darling mouth tight shut about everything else. MHz says that's the only way to fix It That Isn't what 1 called about Something perfectly magnificent has turned up or it may be perfectly magnificent Listen." Eve held her breath, standing at the telephone. "Go on, Denny." "Something's broken. Herndon's giving me Bill Bolles' territory. I al ways thought I coutd make good on the road. If 1 do, they're likely to make it permanent and enough money for two to live on. I have to start early tomorow morning. Mayn't be back for two or three weeks It depends on whether Bill gets well or not of course." The excitement In his voice was echoed In Eve's heart "Oh, Denny, grand! And you with your fatal charm, of course, you'll do It!" "You adorable angelt Listen, prom ise to write me every single day? I'm mailing you an Itinerary. I'll long distanct If It gets too awful away from you. Don't let anybody else get you away from me. You're mine, you hear?" Warm, Hushed Old Room SHE returned to the others finally, her cheeks burning, her heart pounding, Denny's excited adoring voice In her ears. George was prepar ing to go. remarking that they rose at seven. "He's a lamb," Marylln said yawn ing. vj the front door closed behind them.

Eve demanded of George one day at the beginning of May. She had almost forgotten George', moment of desire to marry her; h had completely fallen Into the role ul family friend. Today he had come over with an armful of rosebushes He had brought too many; she might like them for the gaps In the rose border through the lawn that led t the orchard, he said. He looked up from where he war kneeling, putting In a bush, and an s we red: "One can't be overpractlcal. You don't seem to me" a little smile twitched the corners of his mouth "sordid. What brought that up?" "Marylln and Peter. They'd rathei live from hand' to mouth than 'do potboilers.' And Peter could make a good living at book covers and he knows nobody wonts those mathe matical swirls. All they have Is an Income they iet twice a year from her father's estate. They could do f much more for Judge and not have to be all the time making those Jokes about being paupers that are so son of brave and pitiful, and need to have their friends always lending them things. If she'd try to write salable stories and he'd do commercial work And yet If you have a talent" George said slowly: 'It depends on whether It makes them unfair u other people. 1 was a bit worrier about whether you had money enougr to carry them all summer " "Oh. tt Isn't for all summer!" Ew let go of the bush she had been hold Ing upright In its hole for him. to ex plain "Any time 1 rent they'll go and they'll pay me when they ge the Income. June first 1 have saving enough to manage till then." She stopped herself on the edge of telling him that when Denny came back with his now nearly certain traveling lob she'd be married anyway. George rose and looked down her with his kind worried blue eye "But "hild. the real estate agen' told me you had given up all tdea - renting; you were going to stay her all summer." "George She's crazy" "Look here, better let me run you down there." (CopyriQht. IPJT. Uaroartt Widdemtr) Cve learns tomorrow that Marylln's fatal Inconsequence Is to blame.

At the outbreak of the World war, Oerraany, Prance and Oreat Britain each had military airplanes yet. strange as It seems, none of the ships of the air were armed. The one objective underlying the use of planes was to gain Information regarding the enemy forces and to check artillery ranges for the first week or two, pilots went up dally. pursued their peaceful way into enemy territory, took notes on the positions and strength of rival forces and leisurely flew back to the home field. If, pe reliance, they met an enemy plane en route, they waved a friendly aalutlon and passed on. This state of affairs didn't last long, however. Revolvers and rifles began to find their place In the cockpit. Penceiul pilot, not ypt up with the trend ot events, found to their amazement that an army wave to an enemy pilot brought a return greeting of lead. The next step was bombing. Ob servation planes started carrying light bombs to drop on the enemy, more for their demoralizing effects than for the damage they created. Finally, though, It dawned on army heads that larger explosives . might create some real havoc. Tney did. Military avia tion began to look like a potent fac tor. One obstacle remained the de vising of a machine gun for airplanes It was impossible to fire bullets through the propeller area where gun fire was most needed. The trouble was of course, that no way had been perfected to keep the bullets from striking the propeller blades. Anthony Pokker, civilian employe in the German air corps, was detailed to the matter. Though he had never handled a machine gun of any kind before, it took him just 48 hours to Invent, build and demonstrate the synchronized aerial machine gun I Operated by the airplane motor Itself, the gun was so timed that It fired only when the propeller blades were clear of the muzzle. Family Man. No family sentiment ruled Peter the Oreat of Russia. In 1669, the same year he married Budoxla Pedo- rovna. the Czar Imprisoned his sister In a convent, feeling she threatened his power. She died there. A few years later ne repudiated his wife on the grounds that she was opposed to his policies. In 1718 he had his eldest son arrested, tried and condemned to death on the same grounds. The son died In prison.
